This may or may not work, as I don't even think I'm on the modperl list %^) Sorry to the mod_perl folk who've already been down this path... this was originaly a "me too!" email. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 24 Nov 1999 16:14:39 -0800 From: "Parand T.

That response was to an early version of the document. We worked with Vivek to get the document into a shape he liked. In private email he gave his blessing, which I believe I relayed to the modperl mailing list.

Here's how it is: people ask us about the differences between VelociGen and mod_perl. We have to put a response on the website. There are some architectural differences. We try to highlight these, and show where VelociGen is better. If you take a look at the stuff that comes us at from some mod_perl camps, there's quite a bit more mud than we've ever thrown. There's the whole "VelociGen is based on mod_perl" thread. There's the benchmark that compares VelociGen with mod_perl and a couple of other solutions, and it shows us near the bottom in a very simple test. Now, you can run the tests yourself and see that VelociGen comes up near the top; heck, when we test, our solution is the fastest ;-) Anyway, both mod_perl and VelociGen work well. If we take the competitive analysis off the site, we get flamed for not doing the comparison. If we put it on the site, we upset some people. We've got Vivek's approval, which is about as much as we can do, I think.
